KRISTAPS PORZINGIS NEWS

Not on injury report Porzingis (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis missed Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to right knee inflammation, but he should be back in action Friday. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 27.0 minutes per game.

Officially ruled out Porzingis (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Spurs.

Questionable for Wednesday Porzingis is questionable for Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to right knee inflammation, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Porzingis log a full 32 minute workload in Monday's win over Toronto, with no in-game injury being reported. However, it's likely that the Celtics will be proactive with preserving his health, making his status murky for Wednesday's contest.

Limited role Monday Porzingis recorded 15 points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 105-96 win over the Raptors.

Impact Hadn't it been for the fact that he nailed 10 of his 12 attempts from the charity stripe, this would've been an awful game for Porzingis, who only attempted six shots from the field despite logging 32 minutes. Porzingis has failed to score more than 15 points in three of his last five outings, and he seems to be having problems adjusting to a secondary role on offense with Boston, something that didn't appear to be the case in the first weeks of the campaign.

Porzingis has dished out four or more assists in three games so far this season.

Impact Porzingis continues to periodically miss time and has appeared in 12 of the Celtics' past 21 contests, but he'll be good to go Thursday following a one-game absence. In his previous appearance against the Bucks, a 119-116 victory, Porzingis posted 21 points, six rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes.

Impact Porzingis played 38 minutes during Monday's loss to Indiana, posting 19 points, seven assists, five rebounds and three blocks. The extent of his current knee injury remains unclear, but the Celtics are likely just being cautious during the first half of a back-to-back set. Al Horford (illness) is also questionable, so Boston's frontcourt may be thin versus Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert.
